Offering hope and healing, the author retraces her beautiful transformation from suicidal despair to habitual happiness, sprinkling each step with soul-stirring original poetry and journal excerpts. For decades, she hid her chronic depression from everyone, including herself, until hitting a crisis point. She seemed successful and happy to all, except her closest confidantes; they knew the anguish she wished to end by killing herself. Through self-exploration, she found a pathway to conquer the pain. In From the Shadows, she shares the questions she confronted, unearths her root causes, and presents a map out of the mire. Finally, she unlocks inner wealth by facing phantoms holding long forgotten keys to her past. Joining in her journey, you may uncover a few treasures of your own.

Whirlpool of pain, despair I share. / For your own gain, I bring you there. / Sucked me down, but will lift you up-- / The gifts uncovered, when unstuck. / Maelstrom drew me time and again; / Me, myself, and I weren't as friend. / A shadow plagued my destiny, / Before sunlit divinity. / Hear my story, treasure I found. / As it unfolds, soul almost drowned. / Reveal my grief, the guilt and shame, / unwinding as I blend my name. / Listen as I share of rebirth-- / meaning and passion's soulful mirth. / Lure you in then lighten your load; / A wealth inside worth more than gold. / Precious self-love and purpose too. / Join in this journey to renew.
